Flashback Arrestors
Designed to stop a flashback AND prevent reverse flow
Flashback Arrestors have a flame barrier which stops a rapid flame propagation through hoses, regulators and torches.
Flashback Arrestors also include an internal Check Valve which is protected by the flame barrier.
SuperFlash Flashback Arrestors can come with a thermal shut off that can stop hose burnback and repeated flashbacks.
SuperFlash Flashback Arrestors are U/L approved and OSHA compliant!
SuperFlash Flashback Arrestors will stop a flashback even if the internal check fails or leaks.

Check Valves only prevent the reverse flow of gases, and CANNOT stop a flashback.

All employees at SuperFlash Compressed Gas Equipment are encouraged to donate their time and participate in community service throughout the year. This year, SuperFlash's community service days start off with a lot of fun at the Buckeye Regional FIRST Robotics Competition.
Each year FIRST presents a new robotics competition scenerio with twists and nuances for every high school team involved. Then each team receives a kit with parts, and has 6 weeks to build a robot based off of their interpretation. The competition is designed to build self confidence, knowledge and life skills while motivating young people to pursue academic opportunities.
Jason volunteered from our company to be one of the judges for this exciting event where high school students, from 56 schools across the country, designed and built robots for the competition. He enjoyed the experience of working with the students and their teams and was able to share his stories and suggestions.
Great job to Jason
